The Dawn of the Feminist Police State

In 1931, Clark Gable's acting career took off after he decked Barbara Stanwyck in the movie Night Nurse. He got 10,000 fan letters from breathless females.

Today male and female super heroes routinely slug it out on the big screen but if ordinary men and women so much as shove, they can be arrested for "domestic assault."

Men risk jail, legal bills, and the loss of family, house and job if they so much as argue with a woman.

This is the result of the widespread "zero tolerance" policy that defines domestic assault as any physical contact, no matter how innocuous. The charge is laid by the state even if no harm has been done.

Ostensibly this policy protects women but its real purpose is to emasculate men and persecute heterosexuals. It's another front in the Rockefeller-based elite's campaign to degrade society, destroy family and decrease population by making heterosexuality unworkable.

Couples all experience stress, especially if they have children. Now a woman having a tantrum can incarcerate her husband simply by dialing 911. She can hold this threat over his head.

The policy undermines male leadership. A husband called his wife "lazy." A neighbor told her to "teach him a lesson." So she called the police and falsely charged him with slapping her.

"Now she needs help with the children and but we have to live apart," he said. "She is very upset and sorry."

Women make false charges like crazy," a Legal Aid lawyer said. There seems to be no penalty for doing this.

A male said his common law wife falsely charged him to get him out of the house. From the back of the police car, he saw her standing on the lawn with her boyfriend.

Another man heard the 2 a.m. "knock on the door" after he had broken up with his girlfriend earlier the same night. She charged him with holding her arms (when she was hitting him.) He had a hefty legal bill and risked losing his job.

The majority of these cases are "stayed" after many court appearances because the women won't testify or it's his word against hers.


The policy accustoms people to the interference of police in their personal lives, which is the hallmark of dictatorship.

Having an argument is now a crime. "The walls are thin," one couple said. They were arrested after a neighbor heard voices raised. A witness vouched they didn't touch each other but the cops have no discretion.

People lose respect for the law. "It's supposed to be a free country but it don't seem free any more," a man told me.

The policy is a grotesque boondoggle for police, therapists, prisons, courts and lawyers. It swells the ranks of the bureaucracy, which then has an economic stake in the elite's new world order.

In Winnipeg where I live, more than half the 1200-man police force is dedicated to domestic violence. "To me that statistic is staggering," police Chief Jack Ewatski, told the Winnipeg Free Press "It puts a significant stress on our ability to police the city in other areas."

More than half the inmates at the overflowing "Remand Center" are husbands. Special facilities have been built at a penitentiary to house 200 more "domestics." Most of these men have yet to be convicted of anything.


I have interviewed about 65 people charged with domestic assault for my web site, www.zerotolerancesucks.com Most of these people have limited means. Their fights are usually trivial, harmless and involve alcohol.

I met only one person who fits the profile of a "battered woman." Even she wants the choice of charging her abuser or not. She feels she can handle her situation.

A veteran lawyer who specializes in domestic violence confirmed that only 10% of his clients fit the profile of chronic wife beater.

Most people call the police to help defuse a tense situation only to be arrested, finger printed and jailed. They miss work and lose jobs.

"Sometimes I deserve a smack," one male said. "She gave me one. I pushed her out of the way and left. We're fine. We're a normal couple. We had one rough night. No one was hurt. No one charged anyone."

I do not condone or encourage domestic violence of any kind. But 90% of these incidents should not involve police. Police should intervene only when someone has been injured or complains. They should be given discretion over whether the complaint is serious.

When two men in a bar get into a fight, there is a mediation process. No charges are laid for a first offence. Why are lovers being treated differently?

Finally, I have seen only one same-sex couple (2 lesbians) in 20 courthouse visits although domestic violence is reputed to be fairly common among homosexuals.


A lawyer said: "The women call the shots." Police often refuse to accept a man's charge. When a wife bit his husband's finger, the cop told him: "What was your finger doing in her mouth?" Another man was told to "take it like a man."

Yet the system is capricious. Women are often victimized. One mother of four on social assistance slapped her common-law husband when he said he didn't care about the children. He pushed her against a wall and she called police.

They arrested only her. "That's what I get for being honest," she said. "I don't know why I'm being persecuted."

Another woman slapped her boyfriend when he made light that she was pregnant with his child. He called the police and she was arrested. Legal fees: $1200.

Another woman said: "My ex boyfriend called me from jail. He was out in two days and bothering me again. What's the point of calling the police? It's not worth the trouble."

In the crush of trivial cases, women in genuine danger are overlooked. Feminist activists don't really care about these women who are "sleeping with the enemy." They are using them to advance the elite's Communist lesbian agenda.


The zero tolerance policy makes a mockery of the principles of justice. A real crime (i.e. injury) must take place before someone is arrested and jailed. There should be a presumption of innocence. There should be evidence and not just one person's word.

Domestic violence was not a problem before feminists and their elite sponsors invented it. It isn't a problem today. For example, according to the 1999 Canadian General Social Survey, only 7% of people married or common law experienced "some type of violence" within the previous five years. These are almost evenly divided between men and women.

The rate of spousal homicide for wives is 7 per million in Canada. In the U.S., the murder rate for wives/girlfriends is between 1 and 4 /1000th of one percent depending on race.


Something fundamental has gone awry when half the police force is dedicated to marital spats.

Heterosexuals should wake up and smell the coffee. We have been under sustained attack for over 40 years. It is no accident that the roles of wife and mother have become stigmatized and men have been demonized. It's no accident that, as with people who have a terminal disease, we hear little discussion about our collective future.

Society is victim to an diabolical campaign of social engineering and political persecution. It's time we told our Lucifer-loving financial elite, "Enough."
